I'll Never Give Up Hope ||Part-1

Summer Break

JUNE :

Its the start of our summer break.

Everyone is so excited to go home, for vacation, almost everyone.
Everyone wishing each other to have a great summer, promising to meet after the break.
But to the Salvatore School, the end of the summer means different things to different people. For some, it is about Reunions, to others, it means saying goodbyes. Summer is the time to set out for new adventures, see the world, to grows in ways you never imagine, everyone moves on, except for those who have nowhere to go. The ones like Landon.

Landon's POV :

My name is Landon Kirby, all I ever wanted to know was where I come from, to have a home, a family, to be special.

Recently I got all of it, so why do I feel like nothing has changed. More importantly, I lost the most important thing. Somehow it feels like the most important piece of my life is missing. I know I need to keep reaching for answers, but as far as I can tell being immortal means being alone, and being alone is  Hopeless.

Everyone from Salvator school went for summer break, some happily, some not so much. I have nowhere to go, the Salvatore School is the only place that I can call home. But I also need to know more about myself, about being The Phoenix. And being the Phoenix means, I can die, and come back to life. And when I come back to life, everything is normal, except the pain, it stays.

Even though talking to Rafael (wolf form), and movie nights are some relief. Trying to give Raf as much human friendship as possible. Even though he hates the steak I made.

The reason why I'm talking about dying, And coming back, is because I'm dye every day, like literally, probably more like killing myself every day.

And the pain I have been talking about, its acts some kind of satisfaction for me. Every death of me makes me more alive inside. You probably think I'm some kind of "self-harm". Or at least that's what she thinks of me,  Josie Saltsman, queen, of taking care of others.

****************************

Josie's POV :

Everyone leaves for the summer break, including Lizzie, my twin sister. She wanted to spend the summer with our mother Careline, i decided to stay behind to take care of our father. Especially after being decided to be removed from being the Headmaster of  The Salvatore School by its own Honour council, My father decided to dive into the search to find who we lost. He is hell-bound in finding the person. I'm trying to help him as much as I can, but when every time I try to bring the topic  "the Ascendant"  he flinches, changes the topic...

But, before leaving for summer break, Lizzie and I made a pack that we will not bail on each other, and we will talk as much as possible. And Lizzie found out a way to communicate with each other, with the help of a prism. I was ok with a video chat like normal people, but Lizzie insisted on this, because it's like a full immersion video chat, with help of a bit magic and a prism.

At Josie and Lizzie's Room, Salvatore Boarding School, Mystic Falls, Virginia

Josie's POV:

I'm lying in my bed, with the prism in one hand, and the ascendant in other. Waiting for Lizzie to show up. we always set up time, when we can talk, because mom & day don't know about this.
Lizzie is having the time of her life with mom, Traveling the globe. It's not like I regret my decision of staying behind to accompany my dad when he is doing through a tough time. Special after the way he reacted by the decision of Honor Council. It's just that I keep hitting dead ends while Lizzie seems all positive and happy for real, for a change. And I'm truly happy for her. Especially, now that we left the anger behind us, and talk freely.
Suddenly, I could feel someone my bed. And I know who she is, Lizzie.

Josie and Lizzie chatting with the help of prism.

"Hey, Josette Saltsman, sleepy much ?" Lizzie asked me with her smirk face. "Not really, I was thinking," I exclaimed.
We were talking  for some time when I asked: "Mom didn't tell you anything else about this thing ?" Not really hoping to get an answer. She was busy with spending good quality time with Mom.

Lizzie: Only that its called an ascendant, and you and I made it with aunt Bonnie when we were five.

Josie: Does it has anything to do with the merge?

Lizzie: I don't know, she seems cagey about it. I...

And she is gone.....And now I feel guilty for that she didn't care about this. And already she is getting more information than I'm.
I sighed releasing the breath I don't know I was holding.

In a few seconds the prism Lits up, and she is back.

Lizzie: Sorry mom almost busted me.
(I'm a single breath )

Josie: You know we can face chat like normal people.

I said getting up from the bed, with the ascendant. To keep it in the red box.

Lizzie: We aren't normal people! And we need to keep our Magic sharp over the summer.

Josie Saltzman: "How's therapy going?"

Lizzie Saltzman: "Fine. There is this sexy Swedish guy who's session is after mine on Tuesday—-I think he's Swedish, maybe Polish. Anyway, it doesn't matter, he is hot and crazy and the language barrier will make it impossible for us to communicate. Just how I like it."She explained, lying down on my bed, dreamy.

Josie Saltzman: "You should really work on that."

Lizzie Saltzman: "I'll add it to the list of broken pieces to glue together. What about you? Any hot summer dates?"

Josie Saltzman: "Dad's been like my life-plus-one ever since he got the headmaster boot. I honestly think he's going through a midlife crisis."

Lizzie Saltzman: "Gross. Hair growth?"

Josie Saltzman: "Bushy."

Lizzie Saltzman: "Lady prospects?"

Josie Saltzman: "Lacking."

Lizzie Saltzman: "Are you not having any fun at all? What about "wee-willy-winkle"?"

Josie Saltzman: "Landon's been keeping to himself mostly. He's always off with Raf."

Lizzie Saltzman: "So ditch it all and come to Europe."

Josie Saltzman: "I can't. I don't wanna leave dad alone. I'm honestly worried he's gonna go out and buy a tiny red car."

Lizzie Saltzman: "I thought we were taking strides to be less co-dependent?"

Josie Saltzman: "We are. There's being co-dependent and then there's leaving dad with his alarming moustache growth."

Lizzie Saltzman: "Oh, gross."

This surely causes both of them to laugh out.
